This is my 3rd pair of padded shorty pants. The quality remains the same. They are essential riding wear for me. Keeps my sensitive crutch from being rubbed so badly I bleed. Fantastic what can I say! My husband heartily agrees.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your review Joanna!
I’d started to feel like the join in my saddle seat was really digging into me. The padded riding shorts have made my rides comfortable again! Highly recommend.
Yes they are expensive but I have tried other riding underwear and none of them come close to the comfort provided by my Derrieres.
Very good underwear for horseriding.
Great fit feel comfortable and look discrete under breeches. I’m size 10 and the S/XS fitted perfectly.
a bit too large. I normally wear M but I should have ordered S the elastics on the tighs are visible under the riding trouser I prefer the briefs, more comfortable and less visible
Comfy and protective.
Very helpful.
OK!
Really pleased with my purchase. Very prompt delivery!
Very comfy!
Very usefull in period of intense dressage training. Allows to keep a good seat and feel comfortable during whole session . I warmly recommend to all girls
Super fast delivery! I love these padded undies! So comfortable and wash up nice too. Since I ride western I found out it's better to order the black and the denim stained the white ones blue:( the fit is perfect I ordered the XS/S and I take a 4 in jeans and weigh axp 105#. Thank you for a great product!
Excellent prompt service. Thank you.
So comfortable. Well worth the money
The best investment I made for my distance ride across Snowdonia!
Great. Very comfortable.
Great product finally no chafing anymore thanks so much
Haven’t ridden in them yet but can tell I’m going to be way more comfortable!
After my left hip replacement my butt bone on that side would get sore after riding for a while so I thought I’d try this underwear. They well and are very comfortable. Best of all, they really help!
My favorite riding underwear!
I have had my old pair for years and love them but the size has been washed off. I am a size 10 in trousers so ordered the applicable from the size guide on the website which was medium. When they arrived I laid them against my current pair and they were a good size bigger....no need to try I could see . I phoned to try and obtain the size down but had an email to say that underwear cannot be exchanged. Whilst I understand this I have not even tried them on and this is a very expensive garment not to be able to wear. I feel very disappointed. Can I suggest that measurements are put on your size guide not just SML
I used my Derriere Performance Shorties today for the first time in a lesson with my instructor who told me about them and found them very comfortable and effective. I had been rubbed badly by a saddle in Portugal and had I known of this product then, I would have been fine with no problems for the rest of the tour. Better late than never, I say! Thank you for a wonderful product, Derriere and their quick delivery to Australia .
Providing great comfort for riding
Really comfortable and prevents rubbing
The customer service I received was outstanding - very fast response times and delivery was super quick - earlier than initially expected. Having now used the padded shorts, I definitely find increased comfort on the sitbones. For my particular figure (pear - larger thighs than waist) the fit is not perfect - but that is something I deal with a fair amount. The quality is very good and I will certainly benefit from them on a regular basis.
The only panties that allow me to comfortably ride. As a result my posture and riding has improved significantly.
Love this product. Tried them out on trek in Wales a few years ago. Going trekking in Dartmoor soon so they are much needed !!! Recommended to friends.
Store owner replied: Thank you for your feedback! Best wishes, Team DE
6hrs in saddle and so comfortable.
Store owner replied: Thank you for your review Anna!
Very good advice on sizing from your team. The shorts arrived very quickly and are a perfect fit. They have made riding much more comfortable. I am 76 and hack out 3 times a week and previously could only find cycling shorts which were bulky or dressage briefs which were cut too shallow. I prefer shorts to briefs for riding comfort and love these padded shorty 's . Thank you!!
Store owner replied: We are so happy to hear you are getting on so well with them! Thank you for the super feedback
Team Derriere,I just wanted to drop you a line to say how delighted I am with the items I have recently ordered from you. I have been struggling for a long time with discomfort when I ride (maybe due to weight loss reducing my natural padding!) and have tried a tonne of things to help- padded pants from other brands, all sorts of breeches/underwear combos, gel seat savers, different saddles. I was beginning to get really worried as riding was getting increasingly uncomfortable with bone pressure and seams.I placed an order for the padded briefs last week, and was so pleased I ve ordered padded shorts and white ones for competing (and got a fabulous top- wish Id ordered separately so I could have got another top 🤣). Im so pleased, the underwear, seriously, has made a real difference. I work with many riders, as a biomechanics specialist and director of a rider biomechanics education company and I see a lot who struggle with the same issue. I will be recommending your products- if you have any leaflets or anything I could keep in my studio I would be very happy to pass them on.Best wishes,Lindsay
Thank you Derriere! I absolutely love the padded shorts for women. I had a fractured sacrum these padded shorts make a huge difference! They are extremely comfortable and I feel more secure in my seat.I'm also loving the leggings technical top in navy blue. Very luxurious fabric form fitted for a feminine look. They run a bit small so definitely size up by one size. You will love the fabulous fabric! Look forward to buying more in the future! 👍My Friesian I think loves that I'm wearing the padded shorts because I can sit better in the saddle&hearts️ I'm wearing the shorts in this picture. No panty lines! Tracey, USA customer.
I have a drawer full of different makes/types/sizes of riding knickers and at last i have found the magic pair! Derriere Padded Shortys! They arrived very quickly by post even after I made a mess of my order and needed prompting by the very helpful team at Derriere Equestrian.I have since schooled and hacked out in them and they are by far the most comfy of my entire collection.I didnt think a picture of me in my new knickers would help to promote the product so Mrs Sassy Pants agreed to pose instead!Thank you Derriere Equestrian!- Sarah Sassy
I like to go on long hacks and my Derrieres have been a God send! Im just about to buy my 4th pair. Soooooo comfy!!
Holiday was amazing managed to have the most amazing experience with Barbados racehorses and I have first time on board since my hand surgery in the summer so the Derrieres most certainly were needed to comfort ones sensitive Derriere!I did go for a ride in Hyde Park yesterday and wore them which saved my seat bones.This is Buddy hes a 14.3 shire X cob hes very cheeky but lovable.
I received my order this evening and my shorties look like they will do the trick.Thank youNancy
I wouldnt be without them!They have helped my seat and position hugelyThank you Derriere Equestrian, I LOVE your undergarments
I tell you my daughter is delighted with her derriere equestrian she begged me to buy more,I would like to tell you something about her, Maria Camila is 14 years old and has been riding for 5 years, despite her short career she is very committed and loves to ride in horse, his main discipline is dressage, however he also jumps 1 mt. Recently she had a fall and hurt the coccyx was 1 month without riding and therapies and when she returned to ride she had pain so when I found the information of their products I thought I could help with your seat and we were actually surprised the result. His goal for next year is to be able to participate in national games.The truth is that your brand is not known here and I really think that your product is spectacularThank you
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR UNDERWEAR! Derriere Equestrian,I absolutely LOVE your underwear and have the padded shorts and briefs.Thank youAnna
I have been wearing the very special padded shorty since February, combined with the Treviso Breeches for hacking, and dressage training, they have provided an unprecedented comfort, I only wish I had known about them before. For dressage competitions, the padded shorty again is a necessity, I wear the pocket skin under my stock and show jacket, keeps me warm in winter and cool now the warmer weather is here.The beach is challenging, Lisco is so strong, wearing the padded shorty, the breeches and pocket skin provide much needed support and are great in all weathers.I have just ordered two more pairs of padded shorties, breeches including the blue Treviso white Cannes competition version and a white zip skin. is always so attentive and helpful, her advice is enabling me to move to another level of style and comfort. I can&rsquot wait to receive my new clothes, timely despatch and communication are always so helpful.
